The 19-year-old youngster is currently one of a long list of goalkeepers vying for first-team football at Elland Road.

Italian Marco Silvestri and Champions League winner Ross Turnbull are currently trying to shift England international Rob Green from his number one perch with the Yorkshire giants, after he moved to Yorkshire from QPR this summer.

However, Peacock-Farrell will now be forced to watch from the sidelines for a sustained period as he allows time for his hand to recover.

After making his first-team debut and only appearance for the former Champions League side’s starting XI, Peacock-Farrell was linked with a number of Premier League clubs after impressing during the game against QPR in April 2016.

However, ex-manager Steve Evans decided to secure the future of the goalkeeper by offering him a two-year deal which was eventually accepted in June.
